Answer 11

Introduction of Slavery to the Americas:

The Columbian Exchange facilitated the movement of people between the Old World and the Americas. As European powers established colonies in the Americas, they sought a cheap and abundant labor force to work on plantations and in other industries.

Question 12

Atlantic Slave Trade:

Answer 12

The transatlantic slave trade was a major component of the Columbian Exchange. European powers, primarily Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands, France, and England, engaged in the systematic abduction and transportation of millions of Africans to the Americas to work as enslaved laborers.

Question 13

Demand for Labor in the Americas:

Answer 13

The introduction of cash crops such as sugar, tobacco, cotton, and later, rice and indigo, created a high demand for labor in the Americas. Plantation owners turned to enslaved Africans as a cheap and abundant source of labor.

Question 14

The Middle Passage refers to the grueling journey across the Atlantic Ocean that enslaved Africans endured during the transatlantic slave trade. The conditions aboard slave ships were inhumane, and many Africans died during the voyage due to disease, malnutrition, and mistreatment.

Question 16

Question 18

Cultural Exchange and Resistance:

Answer 18

Enslaved Africans brought with them diverse cultures, languages, and traditions to the Americas. Despite the harsh conditions, enslaved individuals often resisted their enslavement through forms of cultural preservation, such as maintaining traditional religious practices and creating new, syncretic cultures.

Question 19

Abolitionist Movements:
